A DHL 757-200 (PCF), reg. HP-2010DAE, enroute SJO to GUA, stopped its climb shortly after takeoff, flew a holding pattern and then veered off the runway upon returning to SJO.

The hull broke into 2 pieces. No reports about injuries or casualties at the moment.

Yup...goes to show you still can't drift the ass end of a 757. :))

Hopefully the crew is ok.

MROC will close between the hours of midnight and 5am local Wednesday and Thursday to facilitate the removal of the DHL 757 hull from the field.

Maybe things went much more quickly than expected as I don't see any notam in the system regarding MROC being closed for Thursday early morning.
What's the point of an open door policy if inside the open door sits a closed mind?

I watched the video several times . . . . saw heavy braking action, but didn't see thrust reversers deployed . . . did I miss something?
LET'S GO BRANDON!!!!

TRs are hydraulically actuated. They had hydraulic failure. The tires smoked, they do have an emergency brake. Unfortunately, there is no emergency steering.
And let's get one thing straight. There's a big difference between a pilot and an aviator. One is a technician; the other is an artist in love with flight. — E. B. Jeppesen

Let me add a little correction, IIRC, you have a slight amount of control through the rudder pedals, but it is no more than ten degrees.

Once below 80kts the rudder starts to lose its effectiveness. Loss of control in the video was definitely under 80kts. I wonder if the plane didn't start to drift and with no nosewheel steering the pilot tried to use differential braking? If so, the possibility exists that the hydraulic accumulator ran out of pressure on the left side and caused the unrecoverable slide to the right? Just my {twocents} .
